 Winter (she/her) | In reply to @baloo_:matrix.org
not much, that should be the responsability of the builder (make, cmake, ninja, ...) not much nix itself can do. well i meant if we do something like passing certain flags like cc-wrapper but yeah that makes sense | 17:42:45 |
| Winter (she/her) | assuming by "nix itself" you meant Nixpkgs | 17:43:11 |
 baloo | I mean that there are valid reasons why a builder would want libraries to be passed in a give order | 19:18:47 |
| baloo | * I mean that there are valid reasons why a builder would want libraries to be passed in a given order | 19:18:51 |
| baloo | and that it would not be something we can do on the cc-wrapper to reorder those, because we're missing context / intention. I could be just random order, but it could be intentional and we couldn't tell the difference | 19:20:00 |
 atemu12 | baloo: What reasons could there be for a builder to explicitly specify order? How wide-spread is that practice? | 19:21:35 |
| baloo | cc -o foo -l bar bar.o -l baz baz.o bar and baz could both define qux and bar.o would refer to qux in libbar where baz.o would refer to qux
okay, it's a bit extreme ... buttttt it's valid | 19:22:31 |
| baloo | * cc -o foo -l bar bar.o -l baz baz.o bar and baz could both define qux and bar.o would refer to qux in libbar where baz.o would refer to qux in libbaz
okay, it's a bit extreme ... buttttt it's valid | 19:22:51 |
| baloo | how widespread is that? no idea. but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be the one figuring out crazy linker errors :D | 19:24:12 |
| atemu12 | baloo: I think it'd at least be interesting to have as an optional setting, if not the default with opt-out | 19:26:34 |
